On April 25th, British pilots made history this weekend, downing Russian drones over Ukraine for the first time while on a NATO patrol. Two Royal Air Force Eurofighter jets launched from Romania, early Saturday morning, April 25th, after radars picked up threats near the border. Russian forces hammer targets along the Danube River, close to Romania, sparking a scramble of warplanes from both Romania and Poland. French and Dutch fighters joined in from Poland as missiles and drones rained down overnight. The attacks wounded at least 18 in Nipro, wrecking part of an apartment block and igniting a fuel station fire. Explosions rocked areas near the border, with debris falling into Romania, but no casualties there. Ukraine hit back hard, sending long-range drones over 1,100 miles to Strykey, Katerinburg and Chelyabinsk in Russia's Ural. Mountains. They damaged a high rise in a military school, injuring six and forcing evacuations. Russia called out Russia for reckless moves that threatened Black Sea stability, vowing
to keep defending NATO skies alongside allies as this war escalates on new fronts.
